QUOTE(juniorkirk @ Aug 12 2013, 09:12 AM) inflating smb at surface might as well as don't inflate 6 feet SMB, really tall wey this one ... if test power @ pool will be super outstanding don't worry, learn from other divers as you dive... especially apek   |

QUOTE(aroyo @ Aug 12 2013, 10:49 AM) That's okay, SMB has many usage. If u r x ready to deploy underwater, it is still good as a signalling device if u get separated or drifted. A 5ft SMB will increase ur chance of being spotted from a boat or from the air, compared to just waving your hand. hand waving ? i don't think it's even possible to be spotted ... unless u have flare or BRIGHT BCD ... even that i don't think can be spotted easily |

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Aug 12 2013, 02:28 PM) Up down up down. Can't maintain buoyant at same place for safety stop. ahhhh icicic, thanks for explaining, but i remember SMB helps to maintain during 5m safety stop, no ?It'll take some time and will get better with more dives and practice. QUOTE(ru5hd4n @ Aug 12 2013, 02:32 PM) hi all, road trip = mesh bag what bag are u guys use that is roomy enough for full set of gears? any advise. thanks fly trip = big luggage bag |

QUOTE(EvanSoon @ Aug 12 2013, 02:43 PM) make urself negative while deploying and keep practicing i guess. practice makes prefect. ur SMB for show aer ? Redang kasi deploy only ... every dive also deployi think its not the issue of buoyancy but more like steps to deploy a smb. not sure cos i never deploy mine before  |

QUOTE(wKkaY @ Aug 12 2013, 02:55 PM) If you have the same cheapie mesh bag that I have, it takes the baggage handlers one snag to rip a hole in the bag and spill all the gear out i had a choice between the thin and thick one ... chose the thick one during MIDE over scubatex ... only thing is takde shoulder strap ... shall DIY on that ...QUOTE(chastise @ Aug 12 2013, 02:56 PM) Buy cap ayam luggage bag. Serves the purpose. yes ... those standard hitam punya ... all in 1 bag, i put all my clothes around just in case they mishandled the bag when throwing into the storageQUOTE(EvanSoon @ Aug 12 2013, 03:02 PM) baru beli from MIDE no chance deploy yet.. still in the plastic some more.. wasted le, shld have bought during MIDE. QUOTE(Pandaman @ Aug 12 2013, 03:06 PM) i have done some research on the net, watched a couple of review videos on youtube, i came to a conclusion that Olympus Tough TG2 is the best among all rugged cameras. Yeah i am looking for a tough camera as i am very very clumsy. Always drop things at an alarming rate. hahaha. raise your budget, G15 + Fantasea Do you have any other suggestion? Care to share it with me? Thanks  , gooding and now got promotion somemore ... QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Aug 12 2013, 03:49 PM) Hm, it does help you to estimate what depth you are at. But it won't help if you are shooting up together with the SMB. i think i saw a video where they teach you after deployment @ 5m and hold on to the string to maintain buoyancy |

QUOTE(eggplants @ Aug 12 2013, 09:04 PM) Thanks for the advice! online is for those who does not wish to spend more time doing class studies @ dive sites ... you do the online before your trip and complete the practicals over thereQuite a long list of dive centres in KL. Any recommendations of the more popular dive centres or the ones you guys normally attend? Also; I saw there's some online PADI learning course. Is that required? but normally ppl do pool confined/class study locally before going for practical @ dive sites This post has been edited by 812799: Aug 12 2013, 11:39 PM |

QUOTE(blackwhitechipsKL @ Aug 13 2013, 04:33 PM) well, been diving quite long and have been refraining myself from indulging in buying a underwater camera, although everybody around me seems to have compacts and some DSLR systems. thinking if can budget below RM2k, maybe can get one. seems the G15+housing is more versatile, and l'm leaning towards it budget below 2k, get the GP, unless u can get 2nd hand set for the G15 |
